Still team yellow after scan.

Had our 20 week scan this morning and we are still team yello, we didn’t give in. I was so close but my husband was like no and actually even the scanographer was the same. He said to us ‘we live in a society of instant gratification, it’s nice to wait and have a suprise’ so after that philosophy lesson how can I say ‘actually I wanna know now’.

I was close to asking though.
Anyone else adament they were going to stay team yellow but then decided to find out at 20 weeks?
Or were you strong and held out?

I’m really glad I didn’t find out because I feel I would have been disappointed in myself if I gave in. Luckily I’ve got a strong husband lol

We’re the same! Well, I’ve never wanted to find out but my partner would right now if he could. I nearly gave in at the scan because it dawned on me that that person knows and could tell me! The only person in the world that knows! But no, stayed strong and annoyed my boyfriend even more 😂

I have my 20 week scan on Monday. We didn't find out with our first and said we would with this one but the closer it gets to the scan the more I'm questioning and wondering whether to wait. I don't know if I want to know now as I'm not bothered either way and I don't think my lb will be either and I don't like the idea of everyone knowing (specifically my in laws as they keep saying how desperate they are for a girl) and naming the baby before they are born feels like jinxing things (im a bit superstitious). I just need to persuade my hubby to wait as well.

We had ours today and remained team yellow. Didn't even consider not doing tbh. It's always something I've wanted as a surprise.

I thought I really wanted a boy but after seeing baby again today and knowing all is healthy, I really don't care what the sex is. It's amazing to feel so much love for someone who we havent even met. X

We had our 20 week scan
Monday and was good we instantly looked away when doing the femur length #TEAMYELLOW!! 💛

I didn’t know to look away at that point (having first baby and want the surprise) and there was a zoomed in groin on the screen which I suspect is now a girl from looking at it. I could be wrong I have no idea what to look for but the sonographer also said ‘she’ at one point. X

I didn't find out with my first and won't with this one either. I think there's so few surprises in life these days it's nice to not know until you can't avoid it anymore!

I'm very much a person who likes newborn's in pure white baby grows though and I won't decorate the nursery until baby is here any way so it makes absolutely no difference to the preparation.

couldn’t agree more. I’ve said exactly the same. I love all the neutral colours any way. Nursery wouldn’t be pink or blue. I feel like it’s like knowing what’s in a present before you open it. Team yellow all the way 💛

I was the same I did ask her to tell me when she was going there but she said it as she was there baby had legs wide open I think I seen girl but looked away really quick so who knows! My sonographer was good with not saying he or she though! Xx
